The Monroe Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has introduced its new leaders. The new Stake President is John Heim of West Monroe assisted by First Counselor Jeremy Crook of Ruston and Second Counselor Walker Ross of Monroe.

The Monroe Stake is a geographical unit consisting of 10 different congregations covering an area from Winnfield, north to Eldorado, Arkansas, and eastward to Greenville, Mississippi.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a lay ministry. Members are called to serve in leadership positions and volunteer hours to church service in their spare time after their regular employment. By day, Heim is a facilities manager, Crook is a religious educator and Ross is a retired airline pilot. This new stake presidency will provide spiritual leadership, instruction and direction to the congregations and members in the area surrounding Monroe.
